Tailored ultra-tough, antimicrobial and recyclable hydrogels based on chitosan and ionic liquid modified montmorillonite with different chain lengths for efficient adsorption of organic dyes in wastewater
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES(2024)
Abstract
Water pollution had exacerbated the global water crisis. Dye effluents posed a serious threat to the environment and human health, so there was an urgent need to develop sustainable methods to mitigate water pollution. In this work, sodium-based montmorillonite (MMT) was stripped using ionic liquids (ILs) with different chain lengths, and a pAAM/pAA/LMA/MMT@ILs-CS hydrogel adsorbent (MICHA) was prepared. The gel-based adsorbent was used to adsorb typical cationic (methylene blue: MB, rhodamine B: RhB) and anionic (methyl orange: MO, indigo carmine: IC) dyes from wastewater. The maximum adsorption capacities of MI16CHA for MB, MO, IC and RhB were 349.6817, 325.415, 316.0142 and 339.8154 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption kinetics and equilibrium data of MI16CHA for dyes were in accordance with the pseudo-first order and Langmuir isotherm models. The adsorption mechanism of MI16CHA on dyes were based on hydrogen bonding, electrostatic and pi-pi interaction. Thermodynamic studies showed that the adsorption of dyes on MI16CHA was spontaneous and heat absorbing. The selective experiments demonstrated that MI16CHA has a promising application in real industrial conditions. Cyclic adsorption tests demonstrated the excellent recyclability of MI16CHA. In addition, MI16CHA had excellent antimicrobial and mechanical properties, which endowed the gel adsorbent with anti-pollution and durability.
